Documentary filmmaker Richard Rowley’s Dirty Wars just premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and hot off its debut Sundance Selects has snatched it up for North American theatrical distribution. Jeremy Scahill and David Riker wrote the script which follows Scahill as he delves into the “truth behind America’s covert wars.”
 
“Our entire team was blown away by Dirty Wars, Richard Rowley’s tough-minded, gripping film that plays out like a detective story. Jeremy Scahill’s investigation into the war on terror being waged around the world is a vital, disturbing and incredibly humane story that will have people on both sides of the political spectrum talking. We look forward to working with Richard, Jeremy, David Riker, Brenda Coughlin, Anthony Arnove and the entire team behind the film in bringing this film to the largest public audience, as well as sparking a discussion on the topic,” stated Jonathan Sehring, President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, announcing the acquisition.
 
“We’re thrilled to be joining the Sundance Selects family,” said director Richard Rowley.
 
Scahill added, “We made this film to uncover the hidden truth about wars being fought in our name that we as Americans know next to nothing about, and we can’t think of a better partner to do this with than Sundance Selects.”
